4. Improve your eating habits
Research continues to find clear and defined links between a person’s diet and their mental health. In fact, there have been so many detailed studies into this correlation, that the number of studies which have shown improving nutrition can prevent and treat mental illnesses has no gone way beyond a number you can count.
There are so many brain-essential nutrients that can affect depression and the symptoms of anhedonia, which as we have said, tend to mimic chronic depression. For example, a 2012 study found that even a small zinc deficiency could increase the symptoms of depression.
As with any change to diet though, it is very important to consider all of the implications, including weight loss or weight gain. This means that consulting a doctor or a nutritionist is a good idea before undertaking any major changes, even if they sound as though they’ll solve all of your anhedonia problems in one fell swoop.
